On average in every
menstrual cycle, one or more eggs will grow and mature. This process usually
occurs 16 days after the first day of the menstrual cycle or 14 days before the
next menstruation.

A woman is said to be
fertile, if she releases an egg that has been ripe to be fertilized by sperm.
Women's fertile period lasts only 24-48 hours, while the ability of sperm to
fertilize the egg is estimated around 48-72 hours.

The best ability of the
egg to be fertilized by sperm is during the first hours after discharge, and
vice versa.

If you want a pregnancy,
the best time to have intens is 1-2 days before ovulation and at the time of
ovulation. That way, the sperm will be released into the vagina and walk toward
the fallopian tubes to fertilize the egg at the right time.

This is the best moment
for conception to maximize your chances of getting pregnant.

The process of ovulation
begins with the release of a hormone from the brain called Luteinizing Hormone
(LH). This hormone level increases dramatically in the blood and urine just
before ovulation.

LH triggers the release
of a mature egg from the ovary which then moves toward the fallopian tube to be
fertilized. If the egg is not fertilized, then the egg will die and decay along
with the uterine wall at the beginning of the menstrual cycle.

Ovulation
Characteristics

Although the signs of
ovulation in each woman can vary, you can also know when you ovulate by
recognizing some signs of ovulation include:

Appears whitish

This vaginal discharge
is a cervical mucus that can be a sign that you are in the fertile period.
After your menstruation is complete, the mucus in your cervix will slowly
increase and the texture will change.

Toward and during
ovulation, the mucus becomes more fluid, thus facilitating the entry of sperm
into the fallopian tubes to meet with the egg. So the most fertile moment for
you is when the mucus starts to look a bit clear like the white part of the raw
egg.

Pain in the stomach

Some women claim that
they feel pain in the ovary, namely the lower abdomen during ovulation. The
pain can also appear on the part of one of the backs during ovulation.

More excited

At the time of
ovulation, women are often more excited to have intensual intercourse. In
addition, at this time you will also look more attractive, even your body will
naturally produce a different perfume without you knowing it.

In general, some women
think that the ovulation period is at day 14, whereas the period of ovulation
in each woman may vary depending on the menstrual cycle. Each woman's menstrual
cycle varies and normally ranges from 25 to 30 days with a 28-day cycle
average.

Day 14 may be the day
when you ovulate if your menstrual cycle is 28 days.

This menstrual cycle may
change. Menstrual cycle changes occur because of various things ranging from
weight gain or weight loss, stress, poor sleep quality or exercise.
